They discuss issues in Southeast Asia, such as the problem of Myanmar democracy and security in the region. Officials from both countries also discussed the situation in Indonesia and other regions.
Discussions between the two officials are interesting. The reason, is rarely reported that U.S. officials and China share the view, given the two countries in recent decades actually compete with each other to impart influence in some countries, especially the Asian region.
